I stayed up late last night, or should I say this morning? I got started watching a movie and could not turn away even though I came in midway through and usually, that is enough to turn me away. Anyway, the movie is called Oldboy and it is a subtitled Korean movie.
This movie has a lot of twists and turns, some of them totally unexpected and the cinematography is fantastic. Very artfully done. I guess that is why it was awarded the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. The movie is loosely based on a Japanese manga and is the second installment of the Vengeance trilogy.
If you don’t mind spoilers, click here for the Wikipedia Site for Oldboy which provides a really good synopsis of the movie’s intricate plot.
Here’s a trailer for the movie:
